Winter goes to spring, outside the east mountains.

Several adult men from the tribe roared in anger and stabbed their spears at a huge beast. Apparently the adult beast is not so easy to deal with. In just a moment, several hunters were already wearing colors.

Seeing that everyone was unable to open the battle for a long time, the one-armed man in the lead suddenly roared angrily and swung a giant axe forward.

"Roar~~" The beast roared wildly again, and its momentum became stronger.

While!

With a loud bang, the one-armed man was directly sent out, but the giant axe left a long scar on the beast's back.

The beast roared in pain from the blow, and then pounced on the one-armed man who was lying on the ground.

The one-armed man didn't care much, and shouted at the remaining men: "Innate level demon beast, retreat!" The one-armed man lunged at the beast alone, apparently intending to hold it back with himself so that everyone could escape.

When the people heard this, they immediately began to commotion, and then ran in all directions. But the human leg can run over the beast.

Just as the beast's eyes leaked a ferocious gaze and pounced on the one-armed man.

A young man dressed in a beast robe rushed out of the dense forest, holding a long sword and stabbing at the beast.

With a sword, as fast as lightning, the beast fell to the ground. His eyes were full of doubts and unwillingness, and the light in his eyes slowly passed with time.

The one-armed man didn't have time to congratulate himself on having escaped again, and another man in a white robe appeared in the dense forest.

The white-robed man spoke: "There is progress, but it is not enough!" ”

"With your strength, if you had just integrated a trace of the true intent of the Dao into the sword technique, you wouldn't have used the sword, and this beast would have perished."

"Please also ask the master for advice." The beast-robed young man said respectfully.

These two young men are naturally Bai Xuan and Ji Ning's master and apprentice.

"You slash at the boulder to the east with all your might." Bai Xuan said.

Although Ji Ning had some doubts about Shizun letting him cut the boulder, Shizun must have a deep meaning, so he did as Bai Xuan said. Running the second form of the "Water Spirit Sword Technique", he slashed towards the bluestone in the east with all his strength.

Rumble!

The boulder was split into pieces under Ji Ning's sword and rolled to the ground. And the one-armed man in the field grew his mouth even longer, because the boulder in the east just now was like a small mountain, and he lived in Higashidaze all year round, so he naturally knew that the boulder was the strongest granite in Dongshanze. But the boy slashed the entire boulder into powder with a sword.

After cutting the boulder, Ji Ning looked at Bai Xuan, waiting for his next instructions.

Ji Ning walked towards a large willow-like tree and removed one of its branches, about the thickness of his thumb. handed it to Ji Ning and said, "When you can accomplish the same thing with this branch, even if you have reached the first step." ”

"What? Master, are you kidding? Ji Ning was surprised. During this trip, Bai Xuan not only asked Ji Ning to only use ordinary iron swords, but this time he even asked Ji Ning to use tree branches instead of swords.

"That's right, Ji Ning, you are a natural kendo genius, and the first lesson that the teacher gave you today is what is "sword"? When you understand what a sword is, it's time to step into the way of the sword. ”

After saying that, Bai Xuan took the branch from Ji Ning's hand, replaced the sword with the branch, and waved it casually.

Boom, like thunder. A huge ravine appeared in front of Ji Ning. This time, not only the one-armed man, but even Ji Ning, all leaked an extremely surprised look.

"It's not too late, let's keep walking!" Bai Xuan led Ji Ning to continue walking towards the depths of East Daze.

Ji Ning followed Bai Xuan step by step, stroking the branch in his hand, and muttered in his mouth, "What is a sword?" ”

The one-armed man only came to his senses after the two had left for a long time, and his only remaining right arm kept caressing his chest, glad that he had escaped again.

Looking at the dead beast in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he pulled up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it vigorously. After a while, the tribesmen who had just dispersed followed the whistle back to the place.

In the cheers of everyone, they carried the beast towards the tribe, and an innate-level beast was a rare harvest for their tribe.

……

A month later,

A beast-robed young man waved the branch in his hand and practiced the Water Spirit Sword Technique over and over again. "Water Spirit Sword Technique" is an immortal-level sword technique taught to Ji Ning by Bai Xuan, and the dripping sword technique of the Yu Ji family also belongs to the water sword technique. With the Dripping Sword as the foundation, Ji Ning quickly mastered its first form.

There are a total of seven styles in the "Water Spirit Sword Technique", the first two styles correspond to the congenital, the third style corresponds to the Purple Mansion, the fourth and fifth styles correspond to the Vientiane Period and the Yuan Shen, and the sixth and seventh styles involve the level of the immortal. It's something that Ji Ning can't involve today.

If it is an iron sword, Ji Ning feels that it is easy to use, based on his visualization of the "Nuwa Diagram" The spirit is powerful, and he already has divine thoughts, and he can use it with two hearts. For conventional sword weapons, it is like an arm and a finger. But the fragile and soft branches are different, and when held in the hand, they are like a long whip, and they really can't use the sword technique freely.

But Ji Ning believes that as long as he perseveres, he will definitely be able to meet the requirements of his master.

Bai Xuan, who was in the distance, looked at the hardworking young man in front of him and smiled with relief. With Ji Ning's insistence day after day, a year has passed.

In the depths of Osawa there are muddy land, swamps, mountains, jungles, and high mountains. The lake is dotted with stars.

During this year, Ji Ning gradually adapted to using tree branches as swords, and at Bai Xuan's request, he began to use tree branches to fight fiercely against demon beasts.

At first, it was just some acquired demon beasts, the early days of the day after tomorrow, the middle stage, and the late stage. Now Ji Ning has begun to challenge the demon beasts of the innate stage.

In the eastern mountains and valleys, in the endless depths of Daze, all kinds of precious herbs and weeds, as well as unknown colorful wild fruits are mixed together. In the sun, it glows with beautiful colors.

Dragonflies hover low above the lake and land on the surface of the water from time to time. Suddenly, a huge mouth rose from the bottom of the water and swallowed it in one gulp.

The owner of the giant mouth is a black fish, the black fish is about to sink to the bottom, a giant eagle with wings outstretched, several meters long, has been waiting for a long time, swooping down from the sky, without waiting for the black fish to react, picking up the black fish and flying to the sky.

From time to time, you can also see that there are some huge black shadows swimming under the water, here is the east mountain, the world of demons.

Syllable! Syllable!

Bai Xuanjining and the two stepped on the muddy water. Looking closely, only Ji Ning's feet were in the muddy water, and Bai Xuan's whole person was floating in the air, seemingly stepping on the water, but in fact, there was always some distance from the ground.

"There's an early-stage demon beast ahead, go by yourself!" Although Dong Daze is vast and boundless, Bai Xuanshen, who is a celestial immortal, can know where there are demon beasts around him with a sweep of his thoughts.

"Yes, Master." Ji Ning replied with a branch in his hand, of course this branch was not the one it used to be, in the beginning of the battle. The branch in Ji Ning's hand couldn't even cause a little damage to the demon beast, but it broke itself. Later, Ji Ning slowly mastered his own strength higher, and after using divine power and mana more smoothly, he slowly turned the branch into a murder weapon.

Bai Xuan watched Ji Ning go away, although he didn't follow, a trace of divine thought was attached to Ji Ning.

"Ji Ning's Water Mansion should be in this Dongshanze, although Ning came here in advance this century, as a son of destiny, he should still get this opportunity." Bai Xuan casually held a piece of white cloud, lay on the white cloud and said lazy.

"But there's that chance that compares to me! In the Reckless Wasteland, Ji Ning was helpless, and it was not until he apprenticed to the Black and White Academy that he was greatly promoted, and in this life, I personally taught him a first immortal of the Three Realms. Phew, it's not a proper humanoid grandfather. Bai Xuan changed his position and continued to lie on top of the white clouds.

And the Bodhi Patriarch, who was far away in the three-star cave of the oblique moon, woke up from his sleep.

"This Bai Xuan, he didn't cultivate well enough to start putting away his apprentices!"

"Well, it would be best if he worked harder."

"That's it, that's it......" Patriarch Bodhi sighed, he was very satisfied with the little apprentice he had accepted, in terms of talent and understanding, he could be said to be the highest person in the history of the Three Realms. It's a pity that it's just that I play too much and don't want to practice hard. It's okay if it's normal, but now that the Three Realms are in turmoil, I'm afraid there won't be enough time!

As soon as the picture turned, Bai Xuan, who was lying on the white clouds, fell asleep.
